Location: LeicesterBuyer: Leicester City Council
Stage: Planning Date: 1st September 2026 (1 day ago) Value: £100K-£500K Source: Find A Tender Service

Description: This is a preliminary market engagement to explore what's currently in the market for a facilities management solution.

Summary: Leicester City Council is exploring the market for a facilities management solution. The requirement is primarily for software and information systems, with an associated services element. The intended purpose is to understand what solutions are currently available before deciding whether to upgrade the council’s existing facilities management system. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement relates to delivery in the United Kingdom and is being considered as a single requirement. Suppliers should therefore be able to explain how their facilities management software and related services could support a council’s operational needs. This is a technology-led requirement rather than a construction or building-maintenance works contract, although its subject matter is facilities management.
